Christmas is here with its usual
festivities; the youth and beauty
of the burg are in ecstacies; never
bad such painted prospects--so
many parties prospective-they
wish to crowd in few more days
aud nights into that one week Of
the year. Well, let them have a
good time, it only comes once a
year. We were young and gay
once, and tripped the light fantas-
tic, too, and love to dwell upon the
thought. Let Santa Claus announce
his approach, and every house in
the burg is thrown open, and a con-
tinual round of gaiety follows until
the arrival of the stranger in the
shape of New Year.

and on Saturday night was given a
very pleasant surprise in the way
of an elegant banquet by the Au-
drain County Medical Society, of

fered and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, we have learned that
it is the purpose of our associate
brother, DR.. S. M. Dodson, to re-
move from our society with the in
tention of permanently locating in a
distant State, therefore,
Resolved, that it is the. sentiment
of this society, that in severing his
connection with us, we lose an es-
timabIe Christian gentleman from
our town and a worthy, honorable
and useful member from our medi-
cal society.
Resoloed, that while we regret the
separation, we will ever retain his
name and place in our memory as
one absent but not forgotten.
Resolved, that our best wishes go
with him, that his most sanguine
anticipation of success in his new
field of labor be realized.
Resotred, that copy of these res
olutions be furnished the papers of
this city with request to publish.
The following toasts, inter-
mingled with other pleasant re-
marks, were responded to neatly,
everyone wishing the doctor God
speed and all possible success in
his new home in the far West:
The causes that operate most po-
.tently in inducing physicians to
change their location. Response
by DR.. s. M. Dodson.
Some of the causes: why medical
men do not better succeed financi-
ally? Response by DR.. Fritts.
